Jesus in Cowboy Boots, Part 2

This is in reference to my earlier post on the subject of the Jesus in Cowboy Boots statue found in Evergreen cemetery in Paris, Texas. Here is a better picture of the statue... with the boots, of course. After carrying your cross, enjoy a night of dancing with these fashionable boots. They look comfortable, even in cement form. (Actually, as I mentioned in the previous post, this may not actually be meant to represent Jesus, but it's something only found in Texas!)

Suffering is the ancient law of love; there is no quest without pain, there is no lover who is not also a martyr. Hence it is inevitable that he who would love so high a thing as Wisdom should sometimes suffer hindrances and griefs.

Bl. Henry Suso, O.P.

What God has in himself by nature, that he now imparts to the soul by grace: the divine being, unnamed and without form or manner of existence that we can express. And now everything that is done in that soul God himself does, acting, knowing, loving, praising, enjoying... One can no more speak of this state clearly than he can speak clearly of the divine life itself. To men and angels it is far too high for expression.
